Taba corpse count now at 56
2004-10-10
At least 56 people were killed in Thursday's terror attacks in Egypt, but searches for missing people continued Saturday. In Taba, Israeli soldiers and Egyptian crews continued digging through the rubble beneath the Hilton Hotel's lobby and eastern wing hit when a car bomb carrying hundreds of pounds of explosives crashed into the hotel. The Israeli army reported 30 bodies were recovered at the hotel, but only 12 have been identified. Six were Egyptians and six Israelis. Eight more Israelis are missing, Israeli Maj. Gen. Ya'ir Naveh said. Channel 1 TV quoted Egyptian sources as saying that at the site of the second bombing, at Ras e-Satan, there were still 19 unidentified bodies. Seven bodies have been identified, three of them are Israeli.
